During his talk at WordCamp Europe 2018, Noel Tock, from Human Mades, well highlighted that “one click install or access to cPanel dashboard are not enough anymore.” In 2019, if they want to survive, hosting providers have to reinvent themselves and offer “fully integrated solutions” or what we also call “DXP, Digital Experience Platforms”. This […]

Organizing a WordCamp in four months is it possible? Ask the organizers of WordCamp Marseille. Not only they set up their first WordCamp in a record time (and with summer vacation in the middle) but they did perfectly! It’s during WordCamp Europe, in Paris, that I heard about the upcoming WordCamp Marseille. The first WordCamp […]

As far as I know the only WordPress “Female” Meetup that exists is in Berlin and has started only a few months ago. I attended one in July without really thinking about the meaning of the word “Female” in the title. To me it was just another Meetup, like many I have attended this year […]

After the success of IAMSocial, I am pleased to introduce you to PostPress. My second WordPress Theme included in the official theme directory. It is pretty simple, but it is free! Users can still make some customizations to match with their brand, like: Change the colors thanks to the 14 colors combinations available in […]

57. That is the total of videos produced by our team during WordCamp Europe 2017 in Paris. I guess we can say that the first “Video Team” ever created to cover a WordCamp was quite productive! My role was to capture funny 1-minute videos from the attendees and post them on the Twitter account of the […]

In 2002, I arrived in Barcelona with one suitcase and no idea how long I would remain there. I ended up staying quite a long time; until 2010. Even though I settle down for a few years, I still consider this as my first “nomad” experience. After it, I was not afraid anymore to get out […]

I was not surprised to hear Ignacio Cruz Moreno, one of the main organizer of WordCamp Madrid, saying, during the opening remarks, that he received more than 200 emails, in the previous weeks of the event, begging for tickets. But everything was sold out. One of these emails was mine… and of course, the answer […]

I just decided I wanted to attend WordCamp Madrid. The problem is, when I made that decision, tickets were sold out already. So I AM LOOKING FOR ONE! Do you happen to know somebody who bought an entrance but finally cannot go? Please, let me know! I’ll buy it! Why I want to […]

Being back in Paris is a mix feeling of excitement and nostalgia. Excitement because I will soon see my family and friends and tell them all about my wonderful journey. Nostalgia because I already miss the people I met during my #WCAsiaRoadTrip. One of the reason of this trip was to talk at WordCamp Pune, […]

My adventures in India have come to an end but my #WCAsiaRoadTrip continues in Thailand. There, I am to speak at WordCamp Bangkok and to share with the local community my tips on how to vlog. In exchange, I hope to learn from them what is their views of WordPress in their country and what […]

WordCamp Pune was a blast. Now, I am on my way to Udaipur, Rajasthan. Another step on my #WCAsiaRoadTrip, a new region of India that I will discover and new people that I am going to meet. Even though I know for fact that a lot of the WCPune fellows will be there as well. […]

नमस्कार (namaskār) – Hello! – I am trying to learn Marathi, the official language of Pune where I am to speak at WordCamp Pune this weekend! The title of my talk is “A Video Conversation about WordPress in Asia, 2 for 1 session!” During the first part, we will record a video interview, with the […]

“What is your wish for WordPress in 2017? ” That was one of the questions the VINUBIS crew and I asked to our interviewees at WordCamp US. From “more REST API” and “better user experience”, to “improved theme or plugin repositories,” we got a little bit of all! Just watch all our WCUS interviews on […]

Let’s start straight to the point: How much time do you spend pushing out content? TOO much? How much time do I spend pushing out content? Asked on Twitter, Vicki Winters, an awesome blogger I follow. My answer is A LOT.

Thank you all for coming to my talk. Watch Adam Warner intro: Here’s the Demo Video we did together, thanks for being such an enthusiastic audience!: And here’s my presentation, with all the links you need!: Last but not least, watch the full recording of this talk on WordPress TV: I […]

Very often, users of IAMSocial, my WordPress Theme, contact me. I always answer to their emails, trying to understand what is their issue. Is it something they are doing wrong? Is it something that my theme is missing? Is it a bug? One day, an email particularly caught my attention; it was from somebody with […]

The majority of my WordPress friends are in the US. Some are in Eastern Europe. But none of them are in France. Inspired by engaged WordPress Meetup organizers I met at WCCBUS, like Deborah Edwards or Mary Baum, I decided to look for a local meetup in Paris. I figured it would be a great […]

I went to WordCamps as volunteer, as contributor and as simple attendee. What I never did, is to attend as speaker. Last weekend, at WordCamp Toronto, I was close! With thecplab, I was the communication assistant of one of them: Florian Gottschall. Florian, and the Vinubis team, recently released a plugin , WP Video Editor, that […]

Being a member of the WordPress community is a great way to travel the world and make great connections. While in Vienna, volunteering for the WordCamp Europe Communication Team, I met with the CEO of Vinubis, Florian Gottschall and his business partner Miriam Selzle. All started with a normal conversation about business, at the WCEUBall, […]

“So you were the one with the pink computer?” realized one of the WordCamp fellows I hung out with in the streets of Vienna on Sunday night… Indeed, if you attended the WordCamp Europe, last weekend, chances are that you saw me running around, taking pics with an iPad or seated somewhere between two conference […]

I have never been to Vienna. I know its fame for classical music and empirical architecture. But what most attracts me there, is its popularity for international congress and conventions. Thus, when I heard that the WordCamp Europe 2016 will be hosted in the MuseumsQuartier of the Austrian capital, I did not think twice. I […]

Eight years in Spain, five in New York – Oops, sorry: Brooklyn – Lately, my nomad’s heart has been longing for a new place to be. After looking all over the map, I finally thought “Why not just go back home?” Paris, my hometown, is becoming THE European tech hub every entrepreneur wants to be […]

One of the first thing I do when I open my eyes at the morning is to grab my iPad and check my emails. This morning I received THE email I have been waiting for so long: IAMSocial has been approved! That means that you can now download it from the official WordPress Theme Directory. […]

After submitting IAMSocial to the WordPress Directory in August, I finally heard back from the Review Team last week. As I expected, my theme was not approved to go live right away and my reviewer sent me a long list of issues to be fixed. After working hard on them, I resubmitted IAMSocial, now 1.0.2. […]

After Mazzat Restaurant and Carroll Gardens Diner, Carroll Garden Association is the third business in Columbia Waterfront that I have helped with its website. However, it is the first ever, to go live with my WordPress theme IAMSocial. In fact, if you remember this post, they were my first testers. Thanks to their feedback my […]

I gave Foundation Zurb a chance when starting #IAMSocial. Not really convinced, I switched back to Bootstrap and LESS. A duo, I have been using for many projects now, including this blog. This semester, I am taking MMP460 and our first project is to work on our portfolio. The requirements: use WordPress along with Foundation […]

Carroll Garden Association is a non-profit organization “Providing Housing, Economic Revitalization, Outreach, and Advocacy to the Residents of Southwest Brooklyn.” I met with its staff participating with Mazzat Restaurant at the 6th Annual Columbia Waterfront Fall Festival which the organization promotes each year in September. Since then, they have been helping me and Go digital! […]

The challenge of creating a WordPress theme is to not only make it look good on the frontend, but also to provide users with features in the backend that allow them to easily customize their website without having to touch the code. WordPress makes it easy for us, web developers, to extend the admin to […]

The midterms are over. Yet, it is time to focus on the finals. Actually, I already know the requirements for my MMP 350 class: create a WordPress theme. This is a new step for me and my experience working with this CMS. Indeed, I have already created customized WordPress templates, coded for my owns projects, […]

This is a “1.0 launch” because I still have a lot to do. But, that’s it. I am live! Remember this post? Well, this is reality now. And you are reading it. It is actually one of my midterm projects due this Friday for my MMP 350 class. So I am giving up on the […]
